An increasing shortening of product life cycles, as well as the trend towards highly individualized food products, force manufacturers to digitize their own production chains. Especially the collection, monitoring, and evaluation of food data will ha...
An efficient position based visual sevroing control approach for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) by employing Non-linear Model Predictive Control (N-MPC) is designed and presented in this work. In the proposed scheme, a mechanism is incorporate...
This paper presents an extensive literature review on the field of condition-based maintenance (CBM). The paper encompasses over 4000 contributions, analysed through bibliometric indicators and meta-analysis techniques. The review adopts Factor Analy...
In this paper, we present a new analytical method to calculate the required amplitudes and phase angles of the injected harmonic currents, to generate a determined torque ripple for synchronous machines with surface-mounted permanent magnets. First,...
A product is composed of several components, and the number, type, and combination of components plays a crucial role in the process of product design. It is difficult to get an optimized scheme in a short time. In order to improve the efficiency of...
This paper proposes a reliable and straightforward approach to mobile robots (or moving objects in general) indoor tracking, in order to perform a preliminary study on their dynamics. The main features of this approach are its minimal and low-cost se...
In large rotor-bearing systems, the rolling element bearings act as a considerable source of subcritical vibration excitation. Simulation of such rotor bearing systems contains major sources of uncertainty contributing to the excitation, namely the r...
With the advent of agriculture 3.0 and 4.0, in view of efficient and sustainable use of resources, researchers are increasingly focusing on the development of innovative smart farming and precision agriculture technologies by introducing automation a...
This study investigates the dynamic behavior of a recently developed counterbalance forklift truck. The final objective is creating virtual testing tools based on numerical multibody models to evaluate the dynamic stresses experienced by the forklift...
Fatigue is one of the main causes for in service failure of mechanical components and structures. With the development of new materials, such as high strength aluminium or titanium alloys with different microstructures from steels, materials no longe...
